Welcome Lunar New Year

Book Cover for Welcome Lunar New Year

This is a 30-page bilingual Vietnamese-English board book by Jessie Duong, published through embebooks. It is made for children and families who want a simple way to talk about Tết and the Vietnamese zodiac together. If you are a beginner or you are reading with a child, it is easy to pick up and use.

Each spread introduces one of the 12 con giáp and includes a common personality trait plus a short Tết greeting. That makes it more than a picture book. You get themed vocabulary, repeated sentence patterns, and a small cultural focus that helps kids connect words to a familiar holiday. The board book format also makes it better for toddlers than a standard paperback.

Where it works best is early reading and family read-aloud time, not deep language study. You will not get pronunciation help, audio, or much grammar explanation, so older learners will outgrow it quickly. Still, if you want a gentle cultural reader with clear bilingual text, you can find it on the embebooks product page.
